"The expectancy and rose of the fair state"

With the Taft Elementary performance well on its way, our group of young talent has begun the staging process. We are encouraging children to wonder about their actions on stage.


This should get them thinking about how their characters will move on and off stage for entrances and exits, what physical actions to do during their lines, and also, whether they have speaking parts or not, how to act as extras (soldiers, attendants) and stage props (fireplace, trees).



All actors share one great thing in common, they are all integral parts to the whole, focusing on a single, dynamic goal.

The troupe is working extremely well together so far. It is amazing how many ideas they set forth for one another.

We want to continue successfully going through the script, and our biggest hope, which I faithfully believe will come true, is that the children will have their lines completely memorized by Monday.
